Midwinter Cake and Local
SaladBase H - Signy Island Antarctica

Salads were grown on Signy in the past
when it was possible to bring down soil and grow a small amount of
plants in difficult circumstances. This has now been banned in case
non-native plants, fungi or pests are brought along with the soil.
Hydroponics are allowed to grow crops, though there are problems with
this too.

This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on
the 60th anniversary of Signy Island
Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W. Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd
and then placed here on the web.
